Nah, this system has been in place for years.

Place where I live also gives about the equivalent of 5000 USD for a birth. My wife got a single room in the hospital (very basic public hospital, but not a room with 4 other mothers). The 5k just about covered the medical costs for the pregnancy, birth and the additional cost for the room for 3 days ...

How is that useful in this discussion? I need windows because I play CoD with my kids. I still like the concept of this specific windows tool.

It's not a genocide anymore. We should start calling it what it is, a holocaust. The entire systematic destruction/eradication of a people, not just the murder of them, but the entire structural destruction of one.

I enjoy life. But I am very aware that if I die, it all just stops.

If not for the pain I'd cause my loved ones, I wouldn't mind dropping dead tomorrow. As long as it's instant and painless. Like turning off a pc. When it's off, it's over. Easypeasy. No more stress, hunger, love, joy, nothing. Doesn't sound horrible to me.

Suicide though? No way. There's too much good to actively keep living for.

Fair enough. It's still more news than the endless reporting major news websites do (I'm looking at you bbc) about his fucking tweets.

But I can see your point that it's not very newsworthy on Lemmy (nor is this new btw, he has done similar shit before)

Just an idea, but maybe nothing actually happened? So nobody is sharing their videos, or they're just not going viral because there is nothing to see... The truth is always more mundane than you want it to be...

What's more likely? A shadow government wiping thousands of videos without thousands of people being up in arms about it. If Gmail goes down for 15m, the whole world goes crazy. We're taking about the phones of an entire district being instantly cleaned, livestreams shut down, cloud backups (including people backing up to homeservers) being wiped and all. Maybe even dumb cameras and instax pictures being destroyed.

Or nothing but a random hoax of someone having fun?

If you still find the shadow government more likely, there is no discussion to be had tbh...

The government is so powerful that they've even managed to downvote your comment exposing their evil ways! Incredible.

At the same time, they're too incompetent to keep sensitive war information out of the press, feed or teach their children and poor or even just agree on what to call a fucking bay. But scrubbing thousands of phones instantly, in these live streaming days, no biggie.

"Twitter should be the global town square"

"free speech absolutist"

"make humor great again"

"leftists are snowflakes"

Sure, he doesn't force anyone to use Twitter. It's still unfortunately the de facto communication platform for a lot of government agencies. It's still an important tool for the world. Let's hope some large governments (EU? Please?) grow balls and leave Twitter alltogether...

This is absolutely newsworthy and worth being upset about.

That one guy's dead wife obviously.

It might be a scam, but I talked to someone through better help for a few weeks. She helped me get rid of my overall negativity really fast. She didn't teach me anything revolutionary, but she made me face the issue face on. 2y later and I haven't fallen back into my old ways. So for me personally, it was an absolute success story.

I have other issues like every human being, but I am not a Debby downer anymore around others

Nowhere? Sit with my own sadness. Go to the gym and work my frustration out on weights. Play games and forget? Unfortunately none of them healthy coping mechanisms, but talking to close ones leads to more issues because I'm very bad at putting my feelings into words without causing distress to others apparently. So inwards it goes.

Not as if the universe cares, so why should I?...

 

I am running a NAS at home, Minecraft server and some other stuff.

I want to make it all easier to access by getting my own domain, both for myself and friends and family.

Will also use it for my mail address etc.

My main goal is reduce my dependency on US services for very obvious reasons.

What's a good non US dns registrar to use? Found a ton online, but it's my first time doing this and I'm a bit lost unfortunately.

Any help and/or advice is greatly appreciated.

 

I'm traveling to the US mainland for the first time in my life in a few weeks.

I am not overly stressed about privacy, but I have read that US immigration can really overstep their boundaries. Are there any simple specific steps to take on my devices to protect my privace when going through US border control?

Remove my main accounts from my phone/tablet and use dummy accounts? Or just removing my biometrics?

 

I love the content posted here. As someone that has recently started dabbling in AI image Gen, it would be an amazing learning tool to see a) which model was used to generate the image and b) which prompt was given. With a) being most interesting imo.

Is there any reason this is not required?

(hope it's OK to post this here, didn't see anything in the rules about it)
